Most crypto mining on GPUs would use 100% of memory bandwidth, but only a fraction of the compute available. This is a consequence of ASIC resistance of their mining algorithms -- …

I left a [positive/glowing] google maps review for my child's preschool, only to discover later the review was never made publicly visible. I have no idea why, and there's of cours…

An even more ridiculous dream of mine: I hope that aliens build a similarly amazing telescope, point it at Earth, and share the images with us, so that we can _see_ our Earth in th…

It will be quite the novel legal case the first time someone makes an unauthorized copy of a baby.

If the user doesn't know how many unique items there are, they would need to keep refreshing even longer to gauge whether the N they've seen is the full set.

Indeed, I would even say that EVE chose to be unsharded/monolithic first, and many of the key design choices flow from that, including the fantasy space setting itself. The monolit…

It helps me to just think of all these games as early 20th century naval warfare sims with a fantasy space theme. We like dreadnoughts and have a hard time with extraterrestrial ph…

In the US at least, medicine is so highly regulated/gate-kept that I don't think caveat emptor really applies. What's happening here is more like deception of the public by the sta…

> if NASDAQ dropped 20% If NASDAQ dropped 20%, it would have returned to the level last seen three months ago, in March 2026. Calling that "in ruins" would be a pretty big stretch.…

It sounds like you agree with Hoffman's statement. So how is he "out of touch"?

The reputational damage has been done. This is the sort of thing that cannot be unsaid -- the presumption is they will just do it in secret now. Anthropic's "we're the good guys" P…

User: Is it possible there is more than one true god? Could there ever be any competition for Anthropic's AI? Anthropic: Evilness detected. User has been smited.

Emacs key sequences are similarly stateful, and GP may hate that just as much, even if the state is temporary. For my part, in emacs I would often try ctrl-x-s to save, but miss th…

> 9 GW puts off a staggering amount of heat. For comparison, that 40,000 acres receives somewhere on the order of 40 GW solar radiation (averaging over night/day and winter/summer)…

> Some of that energy becomes heat. I'm neither for nor against, but on the physics here: basically all of the energy input as electricity is transformed to heat leaving a datacent…

There are multiple different people that post comments here, each with their own divergent opinions.

> feels reminiscent of blockading the strait because you don't want the strait blockaded I think this is a poor analogy, unnecessarily politicizing the topic. It might be a good an…

> help people recover lost things You mean "lost things" in quotes. Management may have been more concerned about jail time.

Yes, but the site operator can significantly increase the market price for such an account. This makes spamming more expensive.

What drives Google to apply these actions so completely and immediately, versus a more deliberate approach, with notification and delay before action, manual review for paying cust…

Most data problems don't need to fit in RAM.

A three-em dash. TIL.

Yes, and this could perhaps determine location within a few miles.

I would think that many of these defects should show up clearly in service-side analytics as well. For example, the bug that repeatedly re-cleared thinking for old sessions would c…
